1907.
May 2-7
  During this period the weather has been steadily cool
and at times unseasonably cold. On the morning of the 5th
the ground was stiff with frost and shallow pools of water were
frozen over with thin ice. There was a heavy N.E. rain storm
on the 4th and a gentle but steady rain with S.W. wind on
the afternoon of the 6th. The 2nd and 5th were brilliantly
clear days but on the other four days the sun shone but 
little or not at all. These conditions have been most
unfavorable for bird migration as the following brief list 
of "arrivals" will show:-
A remarkably cold week
Few birds came
May 2 White-throated Sparrow, one singing nearby the farm house early 
this morning.
May 3 No arrivals noted
May 4 No arrivals noted
May 5 No arrivals noted
May 6 Cat-bird, one heard mewing in the forsythia bush at evening
    Bobolink, one heard singing over Birch Field in P.M.
May 7 Brown Thrasher, one in full song near the house at sunset
    Nashville Warbler, one singing near the house in the early morning,
another gave the flight song over at evening in Berry Pasture
    Towhee One in Birch Field, another in the Berry Pasture.
Arrivals
  The above is an extraordinarily meagre showing
for the first week of May. Of course most of the birds
that usually arrive at this time have been held back.
They will no doubt come with a rush the first really warm night.
